Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Louis Umfreville Wilkinson
5 Dec 1945
How apt is the yi [yi King]! On Friday it began to itch, and from then on nothing but I Shant I ad nauseum. "I can't make up my mind". "Why not take a Yi?" So we did, and got 44 Kau—"The subject will be like a lean pig which is sure to keep jumping about"! So off she went. People who go to fortune-tellers don't want the future, or even advice, at all; only to be confirmed in their folly and stupidity by some suppose "authority". The same goes for people who want to learn to be "initiated" and the rest. As soon as something comes which they don't know already, they start to kick! Ah maudite race!
It was frightfully good of you to write at such a length about "The 3 Wishes". You are quite right, of course, about the initials. I never looked at the MS: ask more why when I see you, and you'll start something! But this point won't matter in this case, I hope; for O.W. could have the play read to him aloud. I'll warn Jean to that effect. Cable from her yesterday that she gave O.W. "Mortadello". Do you recall that? If so, what? And why would Censor kick at 3 Wishes? J. and B. I suppose. But he may sup a parson.
Love 93
Yours
Aleister
